## What is TurboTide?

Hit the throttle. The pack is right behind you.

TurboTide is a bright, fast arcade racer on the water, made for one thumb in portrait. Push to carve through the chop, swipe up to boost, and fly off the big jumps into backflips, barrel rolls and 360 spins. Land it clean to charge your boost. Land it late and you're swimming.

It plays like the arcade racers you remember from when you were a kid: glossy colors, big chunky numbers, an announcer who never calms down, and a TV crew filming the race from the helicopter and the blimp.

EVERY COURSE IS AN EVENT
- Stadium Harbor: the cruise ship's swell, the fort's cannon fire and the regatta
- Sunset Harbor: the same harbor at golden hour, under the lighthouse beam
- Primeval Delta: a dinosaur herd crossing the river, a sea monster and an erupting volcano
- Frostbite Fjord: a surfacing submarine, a calving glacier, an ice cave and the northern lights
- Hikari City: neon canals at night, a rising drawbridge, a flood surge and a festival dragon
- Serpent Temple: jungle ruins, a rolling Sun Stone, a fire serpent and a giant anaconda
- Kingsmoat: a cavalry charge, siege engines and a fire-breathing dragon over the castle
- Twister Bay: start on a water slide and finish down the Twister Bowl
- Gravewood Manor: a haunted manor, a headless horseman and falling chandeliers
- Crystal Deep: race through glass tunnels under the sea, ride the vortex tubes, face the Kraken and the Sea King
